Nothing against you youngster. But, the first question that comes to mind is; Are you old enough to own, let alone, transport a blackpowder handgun in the state of Indiana?
In Indiana, a resident cannot carry a handgun without a permit.
Should you be caught carrying on your person or in your auto, other than on the day of purchase, without a permit to carry, you will be arrested. As long as you have a permit, you may carry a handgun in your car or on your person.
If you purchase a handgun you have 24 hours from the time of sale to transport it home without a permit.
You may want to call or write the local Sheriff's Office of the county you where you live for a better answer your question.

check this website out
"http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title35/ar47/ch5.html"
and the rest is on the IN 'dot' gov site
this is not an open carry state and you need to visit here for the laws according to Indiana. Good luck.

Hmmm...seems to me that all sellers of Black Powder
guns from your state require a FFL for sales on the auction sites.....
( food for thought )
And you probably need to be accompanied by an adult when you are out at the range fireing it...

I'm glad to see you don't intend to carry your pistol.
IF ... you ever decide to try this with your replica, pre-1898, black powder revolver, doesn't use fixed ammunition, its a 150 year old technology, so I don't need a permit ... likely what will happen is:
A cop will spot you and you will be arrested, cuffed, and jailed, plus you pistol will be confiscated. It will be of no avail to explain to the cop that it is a curio and relic. The cop will see it as a lethal weapon, which it is!
You will get a trial date, appear in court with your attorney (think a few thousand dollars in fees), and suffer the penalty for carrying without a permit.
You could also try to convince a judge the pistol is not a "firearm" in the modern sense, get an attorney who specializes in these matters (think lots of thousands of dollars), and probably loose anyway.

Indiana does not require a FFL to buy but you are right about the Policeman and him arresting you. The carry law is pretty strict here.

Don't want to end up like that young re-enactor who, after an event, went and left his musket in the back of his car and got caught with it in the high school parking lot. Sincere can of night crawlers!
